Consider yourself seriously interviewed.

So I had an interview for what I thought was a simple office-junior position yesterday. When I got there I was told they had flown a director of the board in to be at the interview. For an Office-Junior?! As in photocopying, faxing, making tea and coffee and delivering post? Anyways I thought it went ok, and at the end of the interview I asked when they might come to a decision and let us know, and I was told that I would be told in the next two weeks if I had a second interview or not. A second interview?! Mind you they gave me a job-description and it sounds like they arent looking for a photocopying, faxing coffee-making junior but a junior administrator, involving actually dealing with clients and working with actual accounts etc. This is good, cause if I had know that before I went I probably wouldnt have applied, as I dont have the right experience, but judging by the fact I got an interview means that I must have been thought of as acceptable for the job at least initially. I hope that the bigger responsibilities might mean a bit better pay as well. Hope so.

I have to sign on the dole for the first time tomorrow. I’m going to go home and get the body armour out. Must remember not to take any valuables with me either. So depressing.

Extra good news, my friend Pax phoned me at the weekend and asked for dates when she could come up and visit me! YAY! *does cartwheels round room* Im already constructing a savings plan from my projected dole payments in order to make sure I have plenty cash stored for a raucous vodka swilling boy-pulling weekend! Hurrah!
